Also I didnt think you used the spacer if you were Using the F20 gearbox?

rear mount need's a spacer on any big block box, otherwise it was sit straight

IS it just a case of using some flat bar to raise the mount up a little?

Don't suppose you have a pic of one of those spacers fitted? I thought you'd get away with using flat bar.

What's the score with the airbox? Can you use an original Corsa airbox?

yea you can just use a piece of metal, but i rather have the weigh spread over 3 bolt's than just two personally

Suppose it's down to choice really, at £20 that mount isn't too dear anyway.

I've seen that kit £5 cheaper elsewhere. I might have found a cheaper barely used kit for even less yet. Waiting for pics of it first.

cheaper's not always better..
if i was buying a cheap second hand one, i'd want to know who made it..

leats with the kit from chris, you know it will fit spot one..

i used a cheap kit off ebay for the old nova, and i had to mod it, so it would bolt on

Everyone seems to know where it is other than me!

I had assumed so as I spotted something on MIG about a week ago? I won't need it for a good few weeks anyway.

Them ARB blocks may come in handy Wayne

I've almost bought the engine and body mounts and tie bar lowering blocks.
So copying those ARB blocks would be good. Cheers

My car has EPAS, The engine is the earlier dizzy type with narrow alternator belt. Am I right in thinking I can just remove the PAS pump without problems?
